Superior Performance.
Engineered by real life boating experts, this is the only parachute sea anchor to self adjust in heavy seas and strong ocean currents. It is also the only parachute sea anchor that absorbs massive shock loads without blowing panels or twisting parachute lines. That means no collapsing canopies, which can make quite a difference when cruising in storm conditions

Outstanding Para-Ring® Advantage.
Fiorentino’s exclusive stainless steel Para-Ring® spreads out the shroud lines, thus preventing chafe and enabling the swivel to work without restriction. The Para-Ring® spins and pivots when it's pulled behind a tugboat, even with 12,000 lbs. of pressure and turbulent propeller backwash attacking the parachute canopy. A spinning swivel prevents twisted lines from closing the canopy shut and the pivotal motion from the Para-Ring® adjusts to fight the natural tendency for a canopy to flip inside out in breaking seas and strong ocean currents.
Fiorentino parachute sea anchors are specifically designed to place less strain on the boat than other anchors.    

Deploy's Safe and Easy  Every Time.
Fiorentino's patented design makes it easy for any crewmember to deploy the para-anchor safe and easy every time. Simply drop the rolled up unit into the water. Fiorentino's Para-Ring® and precision weight placement inside the canopy quickly sink the para-anchor below dangerous waves. The fast submersion fully inflates the parachute canopy immediately. Secure your anchor line; you're done!

Everything in One Bag.  
Pack away in two minutes or less with Fiorentino's Fast-PAK!®. Just roll it up like a sleeping bag and place the trip line and the anchor in one bag! Fiorentino also offers an optional heavy duty deployment bag that allows you to toss the entire unit overboard.

No Deployment Bag Or Bulky Chain Needed.
Fiorentino’s para-anchors are the only parachute anchors that can be deployed as is without the use
of a deployment bag or adding bulky chain. That means it won't inflate on deck because the whole system is compact and properly  "weighted down."

Rated Number One by Practical Sailor!  "Sea anchors have evolved to become a vital component of the serious sailor's arsenal in heavy weather.We tested models...and favor Fiorentino's...These are top-of-the-line sea anchors, well built... their more rugged construc-tion will enable them to endure Neptune's savage moods..." --Practical Sailor read more

Rated "The Best" by Sail Magazine in a parachute sea anchor comparison "...After we had done our research, we selected a 12' Fiorentino Para Anchor.  It met our cost, weight and storage require-ments, and we liked the design of the hardware, the materials and the construction methods used in the canopy." --Sail Magazine read more

Prevents tangles, chafe and twisted shroud  lines. "Fiorentino's Offshore Anchor includes the world's first anchor stabilizer. The Para-Ring® is the first device to allow a parachute canopy to self adjust in heavy seas and strong ocean currents.  Prevents tangles, chafe and twisted shroud lines."

Fiorentino Builds Strong Anchors
"Fiorentino canopies are built from  tough 8 oz.nylon materials.The materials are extremely pliable so the unit can be rolled up tightly into a small and compact unit. Shroud lines are made from commercial fishing lines.These type of shrouds provide outstanding shock absorption. Commercial fishing line is the only line specifically designed for ocean use with a minimum strength of 2,500 lbs." --Zack Smith, author of The Complete Para-Anchor Set-Up
